Hopscotch #6

About the Item

In “Hopscotch #6”, I represented the status of an inescapable course of events with a big loop that depicts the number 6. This is a four pieces series. Each color block represents a numbered block in this children’s game. I’ve replaced numbers 1 through 10 with 1, 9, 6 and 5, the year in which I was born. If studied closely one can see in each painting smaller four-number sets, all more recent than 1965. These were personal benchmarks. Time is often represented by numbers, daily, monthly and annually, for instance. A year could be perceived as simply a marker, with no significance, or it might represent the most important events a person experiences, something defining. Seeing a four-digit year, then, can prove a stimulating trigger or be devoid of meaning. The four pieces are to display my birth year left to right: 1, 9, 6 and 5. Though this is viewed as hopscotching across four blocks, it is not intended to be viewed as ‘in one piece’. Rather, each block in this sequence has its own character.
